SILENCE WITHIN

IN THE SILENCE OF WITHIN I WAIT FOR SOMETHING
SITTING AND WAITING FOR THE VOICE OF YOU
BREAKING THE SILENCE AND GIVING ME SOMETHING NEW
I REMEMBER YOU AND NOW THERE IS NOTHING

IN THE SILENCE OF WITHIN I SAW HIM AGAIN
STANDING UP AND WALKING AND THEN I HEAR HIS VOICE
HE CHANGED AND I CHANGED AND NOW THE SILENCE IS MY CHOICE
WITHIN THE SILENCE IS WAITING FOR A VOICE WITHOUT PAIN

IN THE SILENCE OF WITHIN I AM SCARED AND I NEED SOMEBODY TO PROTECT ME
IN THE SILENCE OF WITHIN I HIDE AND WAIT FOR SOMEBODY WHO CAN REACH ME

Very touching. I like the shift from 'you' to 'him'.

Thank you for the reply.

The struggle always seems to come from inside.
